I was lucky enough to meet Gracie girl as a pup, when I first met her and her mom, Sam, for photos years ago.

They had a bond so similar to mine and Paisley’s.. always adventuring, always smiling.

I am so thankful to have been able to care for Gracie these past few months, but I know the pain of losing your best friend..

Sending so much love to Sam during these difficult times.. thank you trusting me with your girl. 🥺🖤🖤🖤

Fly high Gracie 🌈🖤

When I say I love your pets like their my own, I also feel your heartbreak when you lose a member of your pack.

Sending so much love to Lexi’s family during these hard times. 🌈🖤

Rest in peace sweet girl. 🖤

Under 10 minutes.
That's all it takes for a dog in this kind of heat and humidity to succumb to heat stroke.
~No ball chasing outside today.
~Pee and poo breaks only.
~Cancel your dog-walker (if they haven't called you to cancel already, or advised you they are only coming to let your dog out). Plus, be super kind to your dog walker...it's dangerous for them to be outside all day today as well.
~Even a dog that is wet and has been swimming can succumb to heat stroke if they're running around.
~Black/dark dogs and short-nosed dogs are more at risk.
~If you have no AC at home, do NOT walk your dog today.
~Do NOT wet the top of your dog's head in the sun. It magnifies the heat effect on the brain. Wet paws and underbelly instead.
~Remember that dogs don't sweat from their skin like we do. Only from the pads of their feet. If the ground is hot ( sidewalks etc) their ability to cool is vastly diminished.
~50% of dogs with heat stroke will not survive, even with medical intervention.
~Stay safe, and stay inside today. It could save your dog's life.
PS: keep your cats inside today too!

Vacation notice!

I figured it was easier to put this as a pinned post!

As much as I would love to hangout with everyone’s fur-babies, I am taking some much needed vacation time this year!

I will be away July 5-7, and then away July 25- August 12th!
As a reminder- July is already fully booked :)

Thank you everyone for letting me love your Pets like my own! 🖤🖤
